Feral Interactive confirms: "Lara
Croft is returning to Linux in Rise of the Tomb Raider later this month, shortly after
macOS. Specs will be announced closer to launch. In the meantime, gear up for
adventure with our Linux livestream tomorrow at 6PM BST / 10AM PDT on Twitch."

phpMyAdmin version 4.8.0 was released
over the weekend. This release brings the usual
bug and security fixes, and other major changes include "security enhancements,
such as removing the PHP eval() function and authentication logging, a mobile
interface to improve the interface when used with tablets or mobile phones, and
two-factor authentication options."

Canonical released a "major
Linux kernel update for Raspberry Pi 2" that addresses various security
vulnerabilities. Among other things, 21 security vulnerabilities were fixed
for linux-raspi2,
"including a race condition that could lead to a
use-after-free vulnerability in Linux kernel's ALSA PCM subsystem, and a
use-after-free vulnerability in the network namespaces implementation." Update now if
you haven't already. (Source:

FreeCAD 0.17 was released
last week, marking the first release in two years, so it's certainly a major update.
Along with several workbench improvements, "more than
6,800 revisions were added to FreeCAD's source code". See the changelog
for all the details, and download it here.

A new major version of the HandBrake open-source video transcoder was released this
weekend, v. 1.1.0. Updates include an improved user interface, new and improved official
presets, improved Apple TV 4K support and more. See all the details on the GitHub page.
